Glow Girl

Separates and lingerie, seven pairs of shoes.
Lots of Woolworths makeup, a pair of black watch trews.
Your out-of-tune piano, sentimental photographs.
A million little memories, a million little laughs.

The wing of the aeroplane has just caught on fire.
I say without reservation, we ain't getting no higher.
All you wanted from me, all I had to give.
Nothing matters you'll see, when in paradise you'll live.

The plane is diving faster, we're getting near the ground.
Nobody is screaming, no one makes a sound.

It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl




Little Billy

Little Billy was the fattest kid in his class
Always the last in line
All the other little kids would laugh at him
Said he'd die before his time

Ah, ha, ha, ha, Ah, ha, ha, ha...Little Billy didn't mind

Most of the kids smoked cigarettes
Just to prove that they were cool
The teacher didn't know about the children's games
And Billy always followed the rules

Ah, ha, ha, ha, Ah, ha, ha, ha...Little Billy didn't mind

Billy was big on the outside
And there's an even bigger man inside
Ten million cigarettes burn every day
And Billy's still doing fine

Now Billy and his classmates are middle-aged
With children of their own
Their smoking game's a reality now
And cancer's seed is sown

Ah, ha, ha, ha, Ah, ha, ha, ha, Little Billy didn't mind

Most of them smoke nearly forty a day
A habit Billy doesn't share
One by one, they're passing away
Leaving orphans to Billy's care
Ah, ha, ha, ha, Ah, ha, ha, ha...Little Billy didn't mind
Ah, ha, ha, ha, Ah, ha, ha, ha...Little Billy's doing fine




Cousin Kevin, Model Child


John Entwistle © 1998 Gowmonk, Inc./BMI

Cousin Kevin:
I got up this morning and did fifty-five press-up stands
I brushed my teeth since breakfast and I threw away my Playboy--that's bad!
The Ferrari's in the garage and I gave it a wash just for you
But please don't make me come to the theatre, it's so uncool!

I'll babysit my cousin and I promise not to tease him, oh no
I'll caress his little haircut and do everything to please him, oh
I'll watch him like a hawk--in case a fit should seize him
But please don't make me come to the theatre, it's so grim!

Chorus:
Kevin's a model child
Always does good in school
Kevin is never wild
Always does as he's told...
